The way I do laundry hasn't really changed until now. Have you seen the new Tide EVO? It may look different, but now I get it. It's a super concentrated laundry detergent tile from Tide. Packed with six layers of cleaning power. Users toss in in the washer and it dissolves instantly in water. It's built differently to fight tough stains. I love it because Tide EVO comes in a lightweight cardboard box. There's no bulky plastic bottle taking up space. It's perfect for me because I have no space for anything, especially with having twins. It's double the mess and double the load every time. And the biggest part? It makes getting a Tide clean feel so easy. Try the new Tide EVO super concentrated laundry detergent today. Y'all know folks love spilling the tea, but I'm talking about the kind you can actually enjoy. Palm wonderful anti-oxidant. Super teas come in five refreshing flavors, including peach passion, elderberry, orange blossom, honey green tea, and lemonade powered by anti-oxidant goodness of pomegranate juice and bright blend of gently brew teas. Each tastes like a delicious sip of sunshine, whether you're on the go, kicking back,
or mixing up a motel or cocktail. There's a flavor waiting on you, find recipes, and learn more at pomewonderful.com. Good morning, Rickie and the Ricky Smiley Morning Show family. It is your girl, J.K.L. and Kyle. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, today we lift up every person who feels tired, overwhelmed, discouraged, or even weary. There are people listening who have been caring, responsibilities, pressures, and challenges that nobody else can see. And God, I pray now that you will be their strength today when they feel like giving up, remind them that they are not alone. When the role feels difficult, remind them that you are walking beside them when they feel weak. Let your strength be made perfect in their weakness.
I give you, Gloria, Father, that even now, you are strengthening the single parent trying to provide the caregiver who spends their day helping others, the person who's facing health challenges. Strithening the student, the business owner, the employee, the leader, the dreamer, everybody who's listening now. And I thank you that you're giving them strength not only to survive, but to thrive. I praise you now that everything that was difficult, you are now made it easy for them. As in Jesus' name, I pray we also to get a family. Amen. I'm Jacqueline Card. Thank you, Ricky, and y'all have a great day. Use the lines, into training. Sports is the foundation on the Rickus Miley Morning Show. Grand Pages right here. I feel this good morning. Good morning, Ricky. It's Thursday, September 3rd. Here's what's going on in the news. We begin in Minneapolis where a deadly mass shooting has left three people dead and six others wounded, including three police officers. Authorities identify the suspected gunman
as Carlton Neil Johnson Jr. A man, interim police chief Bill Peterson says officers already knew that is because court records show Johnson was facing eviction following several alleged threats. It is apartment complex. As Minneapolis begins mourning the victims, Mayor Jacob Fry is praising the officers who ran toward the danger. Upon entering the building, it was apparent that this was an active shooting. They rescued victims, brought people to safety, helped get approximately four people to the hospital, all while getting shot at themselves. Elsewhere, Ricky, a Mississippi police chief has been fired after reporters, uncovered multiple racist text message threads. The Synotobia City Council unanimously dismissed chief Harold Vanderford instead of accepting his resignation. The verified messages show him repeatedly using racial slurs before and after his time in office.
He primarily, of course, used the N word spelled in several different ways more than a dozen times. In one reported text, Vanderford said he almost beat an N word and white woman's A. He also claimed he had shouted the slur repeatedly and hoped his neighbors heard him. The department was already under fire after an officer fatally shot one-year-old Cohen Wiley during a June shoplifting response. Lieutenant Angelica Maze is now in term chief. Let's lighten things up a little bit. If you like pickles, you might like this. The hottest new drink at the US Open is not a sports drink. It's pickle juice. For the first time, a Mount Sinai medical team is offering it to players battling cramps. Doctors say, Yeah, I did not know. No, we've been doing that since we was kids. No way. Well, okay, because it makes sense because doctors say the vinegar may activate receptors in the mouth. That triggers a reflex that tells your cramped muscles to relax. I ain't even know. Y'all should have told me players still need water electrolytes,
of course, but when a match gets tight, Ricky, a quick shot of pickle juice might help them get out of a real pickle. You know, I don't know. No, man. No, no, no. Go to Ricky's value. Want to show calm now. Here's a little good sport. You know, man, I love you. The sports genius is in the building. Real quick, man, NBA has punished the LA Clippers for violating salary cap rules involving their star player, choir litter. They lose five future first round drive picks. They was fine $30 million and their owner, Steve Bombers, been suspended for one year more to come with that. But that was crazy. The interview and conversation that everybody has been waiting for. Steve and Ace Smith accepted former ESPN female sports analyst, Jamil Hill and Kerry Champion's invitation to sit down and discuss their differences over the years. And when I tell you, it got real quick. Man, man. I didn't like the idea of you acting like you plucked me out of obscurity and ignoring all of the hard work that I put to get into that point. You also said you were embarrassed that you looked at for calm.
Because of the lies that they admitted, you wanted the job, the sports center. You wanted to come back. That is not true, Steve and Ace. I know you lying. That is not true. We are disagreeing right now. We'll disagree because let me tell you, I don't, I never caught, and neither do I. I don't lie. But I've caught you in a few. And I'm gonna tell you why now. And I'm gonna lie. Man, that was, I apologize for ever making you feel like you couldn't talk to me. Jamal Hill. Mm-hmm. I have been upset at you for years. I've been upset at you for one reason, more reason than, like, that you're gone. You needed you at the ASP. I mean, you needed you on camera in this business. I almost dropped a thug tear, but I kept it to myself. I dropped it almost a thug tear. Let me tell you something. This is a three hour end of you. Go watch it. Flagorant and funny podcast. The overall conversation was amazing. Of course, it was intense, it has some intense moments,
but it needed to be had. And there it is, man. That's that's the, I'm glad that he given them a, a, a platform and, and, and, and, and allowing them to express himself. Because, man, you take, you know, all of the criticism and all the stuff that Stephen A has been going on with him to have the conversation for, because he, just for somebody to let him know. It's time, man. You got to sit down and just listen. That's it. Sometimes you got to sit down and just listen. Everybody ain't wrong when they saying all of these things. They're not wrong. You know what I'm saying? And I'm glad that he's having the conversation. That's the beginning of pulling off some, pulling back some of the layers. Because the attack on Kamala Harris and, and people like Jamil Hill, who's great and heard, not being at ESPN. And those, those black women that was on that sport, man, they, I watched ESPN for them. You know what I'm saying? And I'll turn the channel when I see sage steel. And then the other light skin, chick that be on there, that, that hate black men. Oh, I can't like her name,
but I, I mean, literally turned the channel. But I watched ESPN for them. Come on, man. We don't keep talking about it. Brigady Tad, what you got coming up next in the house, why? She's fine. Mara K2pox family has spoke out about the guilty verdict, and I got the details of next in the house, but... The way I do laundry has and really changed until now. Have you seen the new tide, Evo?
